The George T. Henry Photographic Collection
 |
A valuable and irreplaceable visual history, the George T. Henry Photographic collection is an unparalleled record of the life of a college as seen through the viewfinder of a single photographer. Beginning in 1949, and continuing for over half a century, George Henry served as the college's primary photographer, creating over 100,000 images in the process. Working almost exclusively in black and white, careful in his choice of materials and meticulous in his processing technique, the photographer created a legacy that is comprehensive in content and remains in remarkably good physical condition.
The Henry Collection consists of approximately one hundred thousand negatives, sixty thousand proof sheet images, nine thousand prints and 900 digital scans--all of the items relating to Coe College. As Mr. Henry remains active in his profession, the transfer of the materials to the library is not yet completed.
